QUOTE
"I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on
the hearth on a winter's evening, and I know the comfort that
comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of
cream... I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter
apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people's tales and old
jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting."
Mark Twain
